Pediatric Conditions and Diseases

You should talk with your surgeon about this because depending on how large the hernia, what kind of surgical procedure, and how much your infant weighs all plays a part. Generally speaking I have heard not to lift more than 10 pounds initially after surgery. I am having my own hernia repair surgery tomorrow and have a 15 pound baby so I will not be able to lift him for the first week post surgery. Good luck!

The first cases I had become aware of with Progeria here in New Brunswick , Canada were 2 children ...brother and sister ....Ricky and Norma Gallant ...back in 1970.

This could be the cause if the baby is wearing "tagless" clothes (ex. instead of the material strip sewn into the seam, there is ink label imprinted directly on the material and usually in the back). We discovered our baby began having a redness at 6 weeks, which turned into a big open sore that she had to be hospitalized. We only discovered last month that her Carters tagless clothing, which she wore exclusively was the culprit and had actually caused a chemical burn (her pediatrician diagnosed this problem). Here is our blog with pictures of her wounded back: http://avastaglesshorrorwithcarters.blogspot.com/

More than likely, it is teething pain associated with erupting 6 year molars. Those teeth will appear behind his last baby molars, and he does not have to lose any baby teeth before they come in. This pain can come and go for several weeks before the teeth finally come into the mouth.

Sometimes children's Tylenol or Advil can ease the teething pain.

Typically, the first teeth to get loose and come out will be the central incisors located in the middle of the lower jaw. There can be some pain associated with this growth process.

If in doubt, just have your family dentist take quick peek in the mouth. This can be diagnosed in about two seconds.

It breaks down thick mucus, a sticky substance produced by cells lining the respiratory tract, facilitates its expulsion thus clearing the airways.

Umbilical hernia is commonly seen in young babies. If the development of the child is normal you need not worry. It usually subsides by the age of one year without any treatment. If the child has some other problem thorough examination is needed.

Yes, My son has been diagnosed as a Mercer Carrier, He continues to get flare-ups where he gets puss filled lumps in different areas of his body, the last flare-up was bad, he had to get the lump cut open under his armpit, drained and packed, then put on a course of Septra Antibiotics, he has just gotten another flare up as of today (This is about his 10th). The lump is the size of a golf ball. I've called his doctor, who has his records on file and have called in a refill of Septra....

He first got Mercer while pulling out a linoleum floor in a School Bathroom, he got a cut on his hand, The mercer became so bad that the specialist had to cut off his dead fluffing skin....He was taken to the hospital where they ran numerous tests, The tests came back as to Danny being a carrier of this scary MRSA diesese.....Hope this Helps, Collette.

I'm not positive, but my 9 month old ate some whip cream the other day and threw up. I gave him regular yogurt and he threw again. I started feeding him baby yogurt and he seemed fine, but two days later he has a rash all over his upper body. I think that's from the dairy. It doesn't seem to bother him. I stopped giving him yogurt, it's only been a day, but I'll see if it clears up now. My husband had a severe allergic reaction to dairy when he was little too. This is why I think my baby has the same thing.

In infants, symptoms can include irritability, seizures , vomiting, abnormal breathing, nystagmus (jerky eye movements), and slow motor development

Lariago contains 250 mg Chloroquine phosphate and this is the amount required by the body for the treatment of Malaria or Chikungunya. So Lariago should be used 1 daily.

Usual cause of irregular heartbeat in toddles is sinus arrhythmia in which the heart rate varies during the phases if respiration. This is normal. However many congenital heart diseases can cause arrhythmia and those children need proper evaluation.

Certain minors can get a vaccination without parental consent in Texas per a law passed in 2013. Only minors who are pregnant, or are a parent with custody of a child, can receive a vaccination without parental consent.

Certain types of yeast in the gut and general gut dysbiosis (imbalance) can cause a white or yellowish coated tongue. Dysbiosis means that the bacterial balance in your stomach and intestinal area is out of balance. It can mean too much "bad" or unhealthy bacteria and yeast and not enough "good" or healthy bacteria also called probiotics such as Lactobicillus, Bifidobacterium and Sachromyces Boulardi. A good way to test for this is by using a stool test that can find and identify any microbial, yeast or parasite problems as well as how much healthy bacteria you have in your gut.

There are many causes of seizure. In some patients no cause can be found and all tests can be normal. This is called idiopathic seizure. The prognosis is relatively better if the CT and EEG are normal.

Yes, it is more healthy to use a new ureter catheter. This is because when a person urinates, bacteria can fester in the catheter and make its way back to the bladder. This bacteria would end up causing an infection.

If your child has been diagnosed with RSV (respiratory synctial virus), clinical indications to take the child to the ER are: 1. was a former premie 2. is displaying a respiratory rate of > 50 breaths a minute 3. is manifesting great effort in breathing by having the chest/neck muscles cave in with each inspiration 4. is grunting or, 5. the baby looks sicker than you are comfortable with.

For our 3 month old born full term diagnosed with RSV, there were a few additional indicators he was in respiratory distress that we wish our dr had told us to look for. Firstly, he got lethargic and a bit limp - a sure sign that he was not getting enough oxygen. We mistook this for him just being tired because he did shortly thereafter fall asleep. But in hindsight we now know his O2Sat rate was probably dangerously low. Though we didn't know it, puting our baby to bed put him at further at risk because O2 naturally drops even further when you sleep anyway.

In addition to having more than 50 breaths a minute (which you can assess by putting your hand on his belly to count - hard to do if, as in our case, baby is coughing a lot) our baby's entire belly was caving in with each breath. Watch baby's belly button and see if it goes up and down sharply with each breath to know if he is having to work too hard to get air. You may also see his ribs with each inhalation.

If you have any doubt, don't be scared to go to the ER, preferably a children's hospital if you have one nearby, as an adult hospital is not as equiped to handle infants. They should check his O2 and pulse rate, and put him on O2 if it's low. If they don't admit him but his o2 is dropping and staying in the 80's. either go somewhere else or get them to write an RX for O2 at home.

No. They are two nonrelated physiological processes. No chemical transfer is possible.

No. Not all diseases are due to abnormal chromosomes. Diseases can be caused by exposure to microorganisms and toxins in uterus.
